Ratings and reviews

The whole of Spain lost power and the app still shows that everything is nominal. We don't have electricity for more than an hour - traffic lights, elevators, most of the mobile network. Nothing. But still the app thinks it's the usual day

Great resource. One problem, after selecting a country, pressing back has no effect, I am stuck on that country and can't return to map. The only solution is to quit the app or select another country in the "Areas" list. Very interesting to see changes as winds and sunshine vary. An easy to use educative tool for the general population on how clean (or not) our electricity production is.

I really like the service. Two improvements I would like to see would be able to create a widget for a certain country, so you can always see what the current CO2 emissions are. And it would be awesome to set an alarm. Once the émission go below a certain threshold, you would get a notification and can turn on more energy intensive things (washing maschine/fill pond/...)

What's new

We fixed a sneaky little bug that made it way too hard to hit the arrow to go back to the map. We also made the arrow slightly bigger while at it, because who doesn't like bigger arrows?!
